"Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in, …
The Purposing Heart
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." Daniel 1:8 (KJB) Four Hebrew youths plus more had been taken from their homeland …
The Greatest Inheritance
"And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession." Ezekiel 44:28 (KJB) These latter chapters of Ezekiel's prophecy are of a future temple in Israel. It is often referred to by today's teachers of prophecy as the Millennial …
Three Years Ago
My reading for today (September 09, 2018) was Ezekiel 41 - 43. The Law of the Temple “Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew …
The Holy One of Israel
There is cause for rejoicing in the fact and truth of knowing that one day; and it is probably not too far off; that all the people of the earth will know the Holy One of Israel is the one true God. God's word confirms it over and over again. He has said it; it …
I Will Be Enquired Of…
The Old Testament is chocked full of God's amazing grace and mercy. I have learned over the years to view the history of the Old Testament as a picture of my life, and how God not only is working in me but also in all who have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. …
When Evil Has Ceased
"And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid." Ezekiel 34:28 (KJB) These verses (chapter 34:20-31) are of a time when King David will become the Prince alongside the King of kings in …
Israel to Dwell Safely
Dwell Safely From August 2016... “Thus saith the Lord GOD; ‘When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob. And …
When Mourning for Sin Does Not Come
"Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, …
The Defiled
Sin is not just personal. It is not just something you do against yourself. Sin; yes, even our own "Private", "Personal" sin hurts others. Those closest to you; your family, friends, your fellow workers at your place of employment. Even more and worse my sin and yours offends God. Hear God speaking through the prophet …
I Will Not Be Enquired of by You
It does not sound encouraging, comforting, or motivational. Does it? Some elders of Israel in the captivity of Babylon came to Ezekiel the prophet seeking God's counsel. They had not sought it before. Now they show some interest. God is not our spare tire. Hear the word of the LORD... "And it came to pass …
It is Spoken; It is Done
"And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it." "And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted …
The Grace of GOD is Greater Far…
My reading of Scripture today was Ezekiel 15 - 16. Chapter 16 describes the sins of Judah and Israel, and why God judged them, the sins of Sodom and their judgment (16:49-50). We can see clearly that God does not tolerate sin. Sin is what God calls sin; it does not matter at all what …
The Poverty of Whitewash
"Because, even because they have seduced My people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and …
There is Judgment at the House of God
"He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in …
